Brandon Crawford, SS, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Brandon Crawford has exhibited some funky splits for his career, and he has often been a better hitter against same-sided arms. That's been the case in 2018. This season, he's hit lefties for a .341 wOBA, but he been a bit less strong with the platoon advantage, posting a .329 wOBA, including a .138 ISO.

Zack Greinke, the Arizona Diamondbacks' starter, has also been stronger against lefty bats in 2018. Over 239 plate appearances, he's limited lefties to a .275 wOBA, 24.3% strikeout rate, and 28.5% fly-ball rate.

Crawford often makes for a strong up-the-middle play, but tonight may not be the best day to roster him.
